Four students of the
Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo State, have been arrested by the state
police command for allegedly gang-raping a female student of the institution.
It was gathered on
Thursday that the suspects, whose identities were being withheld by the police,
were students in the Department of Business Education.
They allegedly raped
the victim, one after another, until she became unconscious.
A police source explained
that the suspects were arrested shortly after the crime was committed at the
Oka area of the town and a report had been made to the police.
According to the
source, the lady who resides outside the campus of the institution is a
girlfriend of one of the suspects.
The source said, “She
followed her boyfriend to visit his friend in the town. Her boyfriend and
another three boys raped her there.”
According to Punch, It
was gathered that when the victim was returning to her residence, she collapsed
on the road and passersby rushed her to the hospital and reported the matter at
the Enuowa Police Station.
The Police Public
Relations Officer could not be reached for comment, but a source in the command
said they were expecting the matter to be transferred to the headquarters for
further investigation.
He also said the victim
was receiving treatment at a private hospital in the town. Efforts to reach the
college’s spokesperson, Moses Akinfolarin, proved abortive as he could not be
reached on the telephone.
